2 Corinthians 9:8-9
8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:
“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.”
Psalm 112:6-9
“Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will the no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes. He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.”
– Don’t put your fear in your circumstances, put your fear in God
– Watch the show, enjoy life, look to God to provide: examine the situation and watch to see God will glorify Himself through your circumstances
Luke 2:19
“Mary treasured up all theses things and pondered them in her heart”
